Willie Whites video on knife making is fantastic... If you are just starting out and do not have a lot of the expensive tools most of these knifemakers have, this video is for you. Willie is very informative and thorough in his explanations. He takes you through the forging, grinding to profile, filing, heat treating, handle making and finish work. I am an apprentice Blacksmith of six years and a beginner bladesmith and I loved watching this video.

This was one of my favorite videos on knifemaking. I like the way he does things simply and without a lot of frills. I like the fact that he used a regular bench grinder to profile and rough out the blade and then finished it with files. This is probably the only video you'll see that in as most of the videos I've seen on knifemaking involve them using 2x72 belt grinders costing a couple thousand dollars.
